Researchers turned beetles into photographers for the sake of science – Digital Trends
A camera that weighs less than a tenth of a playing card could help power tiny robotics, researchers from the University of Washington suggest.
Scientists have now attached GoPros to a number of different animals for the sake of research — but what about the smallest members of the animal kingdom? Inspired by the biology of a bugs eye, researchers from the University of Washington created a camera thats small enough for some bugs to wear, weighing just 250 milligrams (thats .009 ounces). Modeling the bug camera after insect vision could both help create technology for smaller robotics while also opening avenues for entomology research.
